Happy 2024!!!
I wish for you a SPECTACULAR year filled with incredible health, happiness, success, joy, laughter, fun, adventures, and love. The cards were loud for a New Year pull. Plus, an 8th card made an appearance! (Not surprised as 2024 is an “8” year) I asked what you most needed to know or work on as we enter 2024. Interestingly, 4 of the 8 cards literally jumped out of their decks as I was shuffling. That doesn’t typically happen for me. Clearly they were insistent! Plus, my tarot deck wanted to join the party, but only the Major Arcana. For the two different numbers that chose the Tarot, the cards are more than what you need to know as we enter the year, they told me they are your theme for the next six months. As always, ground yourself before pulling and check in with your gut as to which card is right for you today. Don’t automatically pull your favorite number. Happy choosing and may this be your best year yet! Card One Card Two Card Three Card Four Card Five Card Six Card Seven Card Eight

If I’ve done my job (highlighted words will bring you to a previous blog), in 2023 you began to feel more empowered, rather than powerless.
You have a new visual for grounding yourself when the chaos is high. And you have a guided meditation to help you release anxiety and fear. You’re choosing to be more of your light and using that light to overcome fear. You’re being more responsible with your emotions. You know how to detach from a fear spiral. You’re staying present, rather than getting stuck in the past. You’re able to co-create the energy on the planet by sending healing into the world. You know the techniques for boosting your immune system, calming electromagnetic energy, and quieting your vagus nerve. You’re accomplishing more, by doing less, while daring to be yourself and becoming the master of your destiny. And at the core, you know that love is all there is, and you’re creating more self-love. May 2023 end in wonderful ways for you!! It’s that time of year again; time to find your word for 2024!
For those of you who are new to my blogs, this is based on a John Gordon blog I read, maybe eight years ago. In it, he suggested picking one word for the upcoming year, versus creating resolutions that only make you feel badly if you can’t fulfill them. In his words, “just one word that gives meaning, mission, passion and purpose. One word that will help me be my best.” I love this idea and have been using it ever since. For those who picked a word for 2023, was it successful? Did it help you grow and become more? Celebrate yourself if so. If not and you forgot about it, don’t beat yourself up. This isn’t something to add stress, it’s something to inspire you and help you create your reality. Your word(s) can be anything that you’re wanting to infuse into 2023: inner peace, self-actualization, fun, compassion, self-love, play, creative expression, being, surrender, stillness - the list is endless. Make sure the word is actionable and not just a concept. I’ve made that mistake, lol. Twice I chose a word that I wanted to infuse into my year, but the word wasn’t easy to focus on daily. However, the year I choose “wisdom,” that was a perfect choice for me. Daily I could ask if the choices I was making were wise or not. I still use the word “wisdom’ constantly as a touch stone, as using it continually for a year had a profound effect on how I operate in the world. Same with the year “self-love” was my word. I could easily check if my choices were loving towards myself, or discounting of what I needed. So, sit with it. There are no wrong answers regarding your word; it’s very personal. Sometimes you’ll choose it, and sometimes it chooses you. Either way, you’ll know. You’ll feel in your gut that that word is the word for you. And no pressure by the way, it doesn’t have to be perfect! You may even change it a couple times until you find the right fit; I have. Once you have your word, write it in big letters somewhere that you’ll read it each day. And not just a passing glance, but truly, “how can I bring this word into action today?” Next, see that word infused throughout 2024. Imagine a calendar and visualize your word woven throughout the days and months. Imagine that word opening you up to possibilities, insights, changes, and personal growth. As you focus on it daily or weekly, you’ll find that you may be led to experiences, books, and talks etc., that are exactly what you need to learn and hear to help you grow and have more of that word in your reality. If you want, share your word with me and I’ll support you in your growth. Happy choosing and may your word transform your 2024!!! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, my Birthday is on Monday (I LOVE my birthday!!! Total Sag here, lol), and I wanted to take a moment and say a huge:
THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for reading what I write, thank you for your beautiful emails, comments, and support, and thank you for the YouTube follows and comments- you rock!! And to be clear, I’m grateful for you even if you never comment or write to me. I’m grateful you exist. I’m grateful you’re in my reality. We all go through hard days, weeks, months, and sometimes years. If you’re in a rough spot, I’m not going tell you you need to be grateful during this Thanksgiving time. Instead, I’m flowing Divine light into your reality, to hopefully soothe your soul. And to those in a great place, you get the light too! I’m like Oprah today, “You get some Divine light, and you get some Divine light!” Everyone reading this today is being bathed in it. I appreciate and value you! Thank You!! I've been witnessing an astronomical rise in people's stress levels and anxiety. Beyond the detriment to one’s body, the mental and emotional toll is profound. I'm not immune to stress; I understand it personally.
When there's deep childhood wounds or trauma stuck in the nervous system, it can be really hard to regulate your fight or flight response. Add to that the amped up energy in the world and all the places our attention is pulled, as well as the drive to “do, do, do.” It can be exhausting, and cause overwhelm. The first step to calming that, is a very deep grounding meditation; getting out of the mental spin and into your body. Matching the slow healing frequency of the earth, to create an experience of rooted calm. I know that that's not always easy. Usually there are so many issues that can keep you from wanting to be grounded, including stored pain in the body. The irony is, the more you’re in your body and connected to the Earth, the easier it is to release the pain. If you’re dissociated and out of your body, the pain stays trapped. You’re here on this planet to experience life in a body. From within, is where you can create and manifest change; not from flying out in the ethers. Being grounded in yourself is the place of greatest empowerment for you. And where you can experience a deep feeling of safety. This is why I'm always talking about grounding yourself. This is why I consistently release grounding meditations. I want to help you feel more powerfully embodied. (Check out my meditations on YouTube) If this triggers you at all, breathe. You may have stored trauma coming to the surface. Simply sit with the idea that it can be possible to feel comfortable and safe in your body. Don’t push the issue, just sit with the idea. Interestingly, I was going to remind you of this even before I released the upcoming meditation class. Check it out if you want a different experience of being in your body. One in which your body becomes your friend, and a sacred space for your spirit. You’ll know if it’s right for you. I'm so excited to announce a new program I've created for you!! 21 days of guided morning meditations to help you create more embodied presence in your life.
I talk about the power of presence a lot and I know that starting the day grounded and in your body makes a phenomenal difference. I can be very airy and out of body so for me, a strong morning routine is vital!! While I had been doing a morning meditation for decades, I recently took it up a notch during my recent Master's program. Thus, I want to share various tools and techniques to help you feel more empowered and centered as you begin each day. To learn more about the series, click here. I don't know about you, but the eclipse last weekend kicked my butt! Massive fatigue, not knowing what end was up, and feeling very unsettled. Although I will say, the technique I posted on YouTube on Friday was a huge help in calming my body! (Check it out if you haven't seen it. And subscribe and add alerts so you know when I post something new!)
The eclipse was designed to clear away the old in preparation for the new. Even if you weren't aware of it consciously, a lot was being released out of your space. Thus, for me and others I talked to, exhaustion. What do you do when faced with exhaustion? Do you power through and push harder, or do you listen to what you most need and stop? You aren't effective if you push. You need to make self-care the priority. Even when there are things to do/people to help. As I remind you often, you're no good to others if you're on empty. Three words said individually as complete sentences, came very loudly into my head a few days before the eclipse, and they continued on repeat each day as needed. I invite you to do as I did, put your hands on your heart, and: Stop. Breathe. Trust. Stop: meaning stop all doing and BE still in this moment. Breathe: focus on your body, focus on your breath. You're here to be IN your body, so use your breath to ground in. Trust: you can't control the energy or make anything happen. Lean back and trust; even if that's difficult. Trust in your Higher Self, trust in the Universe, trust that things are always working out in your favor. So, once again: Stop. Breathe. Trust. You got this! I have a bit of an obsession with Oracle cards, don't be surprised if I create a deck some day! There are a couple of new decks in the mix today.
This time, the question was about the eclipses happening now. We had one Saturday October 14th, and another will be on Oct 28th. Eclipses shake things up and are times of transformation. I asked what you most needed to heal, release or know right now. Colors wanted to chosen, rather than numbers. However, they don't correspond to gems or chakras like previous times, simply the color that is your optimal healing color right now. So, what color is calling you? Which has your message? As always, sit still, put your hand on your gut, get out of your head, and listen. Don't just got for your favorite color. A different color may be what you most need to know. Have fun and happy picking!!

I released a meditation just now on YouTube to be used in times of conflict/war, or natural disasters. Anytime there's a crisis in the world and you want to participate in changing the energy, but don't know how, the meditation is that how. By being a conduit for the Light, the resonance can shift towards healing and resolution. When unspeakable tragedy occurs, it can be difficult to experience light when others are suffering. Yet during times of tragedy, the light is what's most needed to alleviate the darkness, while also being mindful of those who aren't able to be in any light. This is true individually, and globally.
Your soul will make its presence known in either your response and call to action, or your desire to send light and healing. Everyone's soul calls to them in different ways and in different areas of the world. Thus, it never only falls on one person's shoulders to heal the world. In times of crisis like what's happening in Israel and Palestine, more than ever you need to be the light for those embroiled in conflict and pain. For those whose lives have been destroyed by the ravages of terrorism. The rape and murder of innocents is unacceptable. If you feel moved by the shocking events there and the inhumane treatment of people, send peace- for all involved. Send light. Send love. Hold the energy of miraculous resolution. Even if that seems impossible. Infuse the land with healing. Infuse the land with harmony. People ground through the land. Whether you are moved greatly or minimally, have compassion for those in pain. The world needs more compassion. The more you have, the more that's available. Don't engage the dark and the vitriol. Stand for the light. For harmony, for peace. For protection for those kidnapped. Even just while reading this, if you send some light right now, that helps. Remember my favorite quote that I remind you of often: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ~MLK Jr. Be the light amidst this darkness. I heard those of you who asked for one, so yesterday I released a new sleep meditation on my YouTube channel. I hope it helps you release your day and fall into a peaceful slumber.
And thank you for the outpouring of love and support for my new channel!! I greatly appreciate you! YouTube Channel |
