❄️ Dàxuě – The Great Snow Gate ❄️

On December 7, we enter the 21st solar term of the Taoist calendar – 大雪 (Dàxuě), Great Snow – a time when Heaven and Earth sink into deep stillness, and the human body receives a rare opportunity to restore its life-force from within.

Taoists call this period the “Great Cold Gate”, because winter energy moves downward into the kidneys and lower abdomen, strengthening our reserves. It is the season for cultivating:

☯️Jing (essence) and longevity
☯️inner warmth and immunity
☯️emotional grounding
☯️mental clarity and calm

Winter is not the time to push – it is the time to gather and store🌀
Here is a gentle Taoist practice you can try today:

🌬️ 1. Enter the quiet

Sit comfortably. Let your breath soften.
Feel the body settle into the earth.

💙 2. Smile to your kidneys

Place your hands on the lower back ribs.
Offer them a warm, loving inner smile.
Fear melts when the kidneys feel seen.

❄️ 3. Breathe the blue winter light

Imagine soft snow around you.
Inhale cool blue light → the colour of kidney vitality.
Exhale tension. Repeat 9 times.

😮‍💨 4. Healing kidney sound

Inhale into your kidneys.
Exhale with a gentle sound: CHOOOOOOOO…
See your kidneys glowing blue, vital, warm, full of life.

🔥 5. Activate Mingmen, the Door of Life

Rub the lower back (Mingmen).
Then gently tap to awaken the inner fire.

☀️ 6. Seal the warmth

Place your hands on the lower abdomen (dantian).
Feel your inner sun glowing softly.

Winter is not a season of doing – it is the season of storing, softening, and returning to yourself🙏🏻
When the world becomes cold, your inner fire becomes your greatest teacher. Your root chakra enjoy 🙏🏻namaste Trish
May Qi be with you.

Sometimes life doesn’t warn us before it storms. It breaks us open in quiet, unexpected moments — moments we never planned for, never imagined, never felt prepared to face. And when the dust settles, you may find yourself standing in front of a mirror, wondering who you’ve become… wondering how to gather the pieces of a heart you no longer recognize.

But listen, my dear — there is power in choosing to rebuild.
Not rushing, not pretending, not suppressing… but gently rising.
Piece by piece. Day by day. Breath by breath.

Healing is not linear. It’s not a performance. It’s a journey of meeting every part of you — the wounded, the confused, the numb, the hopeful — and learning to hold space for them all with compassion. Healing asks for patience. For honesty. For courage to feel, to rest, to trust that better is still possible.

And here’s the beautiful truth many don’t tell you — those who rebuild after breaking do not return as the same person. They evolve. They deepen. They love more intentionally, speak with more wisdom, protect their peace with more clarity. They come back knowing their worth, understanding their needs, and honoring what their soul cannot carry anymore.

So if you are in that rebuilding phase, keep going.
You are not failing — you are forming.
You are not broken — you are becoming.

You’re shaping into the version of yourself you once needed but didn’t yet know how to be. And that strength? It starts to live in your eyes, your voice, your choices. It becomes a quiet glow that says, I survived, and I am rising again.

Here’s to you —
The survivor.
The overcomer.
The one turning pain into power, scars into wisdom, and endings into new beginnings. 🤍🕊namaste Trish 🙏🏻

For today Monday Which expectations are you forcing?
Not the ones the world tells you to have—the deadlines, the “shoulds,” the timelines—but the ones you’ve quietly piled onto yourself. The goals you swore you’d reach by now, the milestones you imagined would define your worth, the image of yourself that you feel obligated to perform. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: where am I pushing, controlling, or overexerting to make something happen that may not be ready to unfold yet?
Sometimes forcing comes from fear—the fear of falling behind, of being left behind, or of failing to live up to the version of yourself you’ve imagined. With reiki you hold fear in your root chakra and in your kidneys and sometimes you get kidney issues and are not grounded feel like your all over the place and can’t make plans or decisions..Sometimes it’s a stubborn habit, a reflex to fix, to hustle, to prove you’re capable, even when your body, heart, or intuition says, not yet.
Which expectations feel heavy? Which ones are yours, and which have been inherited from others’ timelines or definitions of success? The real insight isn’t about stopping completely; it’s about seeing clearly where force is replacing flow—and giving yourself permission to step back, breathe, and let the next steps arrive in their own time.so give yourself permission to take time to relax and listen to what your body needs and is telling you .. have a wonderful Monday finding peace ☮️ namaste Trish 🙏🏻 ❤️

Your real talk question..Mondays gratitude..Gratitude for this strength doesn’t require perfection. You don’t need to have handled everything flawlessly—only that you handled it. That you kept your heart open, even slightly, to what still matters. That you trusted, in some small way, that your timing and your path are unfolding exactly as they should.
Today, honor this invisible courage. Let yourself feel it fully, without judgment or comparison. Even when the outcomes aren’t what you hoped, your inner strength is real, tangible, and carrying you forward in ways that will one day become visible ..Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
Winston Churchill ….Sometimes life feels like a string of missteps, missed deadlines, and plans that refuse to land. You look around and wonder why you’re not “further along,” why the world isn’t bending to your timeline. But here’s the truth: progress isn’t always visible. Growth isn’t always loud. And success isn’t a straight line.
Even when we stumble—again and again—there is power in carrying on with a spark of enthusiasm, a flicker of curiosity, a refusal to let disappointment define us. Each misstep teaches you something, sharpens you, or nudges you toward a path you couldn’t have imagined.So today, take a moment to honor the small victories: the times you showed up when it was hard, the moments you chose patience over force, the heartbeats spent trusting your own rhythm. Let yourself feel the quiet strength that carries you forward, even when the results aren’t immediate The world may not see it. Others may not acknowledge it. But you—your heart, your intuition, your perseverance—know the truth. You are moving, growing, and rising, one careful, courageous step at a time... have a wonderful Monday 🙏🏻namaste Trish .

Just for Monday ONE BEAUTIFUL THING
Even when the world tells you that progress is measured in promotions, milestones, or visible achievements, your inner self has been quietly growing in ways that no one can see. Every time you’ve held your own in discomfort, every moment you’ve chosen to show up for yourself instead of forcing outcomes, every small boundary you’ve honored—all of this is a kind of progress that doesn’t make headlines but transforms you nonetheless.
It’s easy to overlook these shifts because they don’t come with proof. Your resilience, patience, and ability to tolerate uncertainty are being strengthened every day, silently weaving the foundation for the next chapter. Even when external circumstances seem stagnant or frustrating, your inner life continues to adapt, recalibrate, and expand.
Take a moment to notice this quiet growth. Reflect on how you’ve handled challenges differently than you would have in the past, how your reactions have softened or sharpened with clarity, how your heart has learned to hold space for disappointment without collapsing. These are the true markers of evolution, the subtle victories that shape your character and spirit.
Recognize that the work you’re doing within yourself matters just as much—if not more—than anything the world can measure. External progress may lag, but your inner growth is real, palpable, and preparing you for the moments when the visible world finally catches up.DAILY GRATITUDE MOMENT
Even when things haven’t gone according to plan, even when life feels stalled or disappointing, your heart has been quietly showing up. There is a strength in continuing to breathe, to move, to face each day, even when the milestones you imagined remain out of reach. That inner resilience—the patience, the courage, the ability to carry disappointment without breaking—is a gift, even if it’s invisible to the outside world.Reflect on how many times you’ve met challenges with grace, or at least with honesty, instead of pretending everything is fine. Recognize that showing up for yourself in small ways, day after day, is a profound form of progress. The world may not measure it, but your inner self does.🙏🏻namastetr

For Monday TODAY’S AFFIRMATION
Let it land, let it go, trust it’ll return when it matters.
I am exactly where I need to be,
even when the path feels unclear,
even when life doesn’t match the plans I imagined,
even when the weight of waiting feels heavy on my chest.
I release the pressure to rush,
the urge to force outcomes,
the relentless “shoulds” and timelines
that have nothing to do with my soul’s growth.
I trust the quiet work unfolding inside me,
the small, invisible shifts that no one else sees,
the resilience I am building
in moments that feel ordinary,
the patience that roots me in my own rhythm.
I honor the season I am in,
even if it’s messy, slow, or frustrating.
I honor the tender heart that has carried me this far,
and the courage it takes to keep moving
without guarantees or applause.
I allow myself to pause,
to breathe,
to acknowledge that rest is not failure,
that recalibration is not defeat,
that waiting can be a sacred, necessary act of trust.
I open to the lessons hidden in stagnation,
to the insights buried in uncertainty,
to the strength cultivated by facing what I cannot control.
I am exactly where I am meant to be,
and even if the world says I should be further,
even if my own expectations whisper that I’m behind,
I honor my journey,
I honor my timing,
and I honor the unfolding of my life in its perfect, sacred pace...PAUSE. BREATHE. mEDITATE WRITE
3-8 minutes to tune into what you’re calling in
Off the top of your head (3 mins): find time to relax breathing connection to your breath the inbreath coming in cold air through your nose 4 breaths hold 4 then exhale 4breaths the warm air out of your nose’s hold for 4 pause..4 Think about a goal or milestone you expected to reach by now.
Spill it (5-8 mins): What part of this expectation can you let go of, while still staying true to yourself? Relax and go inward 🙏🏻have a wonderful Monday finding time for yourself today 🙏🏻namaste Trish

For today Monday the start of another week..This Week: Permission to Say “I Can’t Do That Yet”
“Yet” is not defeat. “Yet” is the moment you stop forcing yourself to outrun your own soul. It’s the moment you stop performing competence you don’t have the capacity to back up. It’s the moment you tell the truth your nervous system has been whispering for months: I’m not there right now. I’m not built for that today. I need to grow toward it, not bulldoze into it.
It’s not an excuse. It’s a boundary. A loving, grown-up recalibration.
Because what burns you out is never the task itself—it’s the part of you that keeps saying “sure, no problem” while quietly dying inside. It’s the fantasy version of you (the one who always has her s**t together) that keeps volunteering the real you for things you do not have the bandwidth to hold.
“I can’t do that yet” is how you reclaim your timeline. It’s how you stop cosplaying the future version of yourself and start honoring the current one. It’s how you rebuild trust with yourself after years of over-committing, people-pleasing, or sprinting toward goals you didn’t even want.
You’re not closing the door on the thing you want. You’re simply refusing to sacrifice your sanity to get there faster…food for thought 💭..SACRED CIRCLE REFLECTION

🌑🔴 DECEMBER 7–8, 2025: A RARE TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE WILL TURN THE MOON DEEP RED! 🌕

A spectacular sky event is on the way! 🌌 On the night of December 7–8, 2025, the Moon will pass completely into Earth’s shadow, creating a total lunar eclipse that will glow with a dramatic red color. This “blood moon” phase will last for more than 82 minutes, giving skywatchers plenty of time to enjoy the view. 🌑✨

As the eclipse deepens, sunlight will filter through Earth’s atmosphere and paint the Moon in shades of red and copper, making it look almost surreal. 🌠 Moments like this remind us how beautifully the universe moves, offering a sense of wonder that’s hard to put into words. 🌙

Whether you watch with friends or step out alone for a quiet moment under the night sky, this eclipse is sure to leave you amazed. 🌕❤️
Don’t forget to look up and experience one of nature’s most breathtaking shows! 🌟

OVERHEARD REIKI IN THERAPY
“I thought I’d be further along by now. What’s wrong with me?”
There’s nothing wrong with you. Truly.
You’re not broken, lazy, or cursed. You’re a human being living a human timeline—one that never unfolds as cleanly as the version you imagined on your best, most optimistic day.
It makes sense that you’re grieving the life you thought you’d have by now. It makes sense that you feel embarrassed, or disappointed, or tired of being “resilient.” You built a picture in your mind because you needed something to hope toward. That’s not delusion—that’s survival.
But instead of being hard on yourself, notice what’s actually true right now. Are you making choices, even imperfect ones, that keep you moving forward? Are you learning, noticing patterns, or cultivating resilience in ways you can’t yet measure? These are the things that build the foundation for a better situation—even if it doesn’t look like the picture you had in your mind.
The real work here isn’t forcing life to match your timeline. It’s recognizing your own persistence, your own capacity to keep showing up, and allowing your next steps to emerge from reality, not expectation.You get to adjust your expectations without blaming yourself. You get to begin again without apologizing. And you get to believe that your “better situation” is still possible—even if you’re not standing in it yet.After reiki healing ❤️‍🩹 therapy you can move forward in life with more positive thoughts and confidence Dm me for an appointment here if you feel you this is for you 🙏🏻namaste Trish

When Progress Feels Slow For Sunday..You’ve been hustling, planning, trying—and somehow, nothing’s landing. Goals feel farther away, deadlines slip, and every step forward seems to come with three steps back. It’s exhausting, infuriating, and yes…terrifying.
But this isn’t failure. It’s a pause, a reset, a signal to slow down and see what’s really happening beneath the surface. Not to push harder. Not to force answers. But to breathe, step back, and reassess.
This is how you realign with what actually matters, even when life refuses to go according to plan. And when you allow yourself the space to reflect and reset, clarity begins to ripple in ways you couldn’t have planned.Even when everything feels off—plans falling apart, goals stalling, life refusing to cooperate—there is always something small that’s still working in your favor.
It might be food on your table, reminding you that you have what you need to sustain yourself. It might be your pet curling up next to you, offering warmth, presence, and a tiny bit of joy. It might be the hum of your fridge, the running water, or the comfort of a blanket—the small, mundane things that quietly hold you up.
Take 10 seconds. Focus on that one small thing. Let yourself fully notice it, as if seeing it for the first time. Feel it in your body. Let it anchor you.
This is not about pretending everything is fine. It’s about finding the thread of life still moving in your favor. That tiny thread can be a doorway—a way to reset, recenter, and remind yourself that even in the chaos, the universe is still flowing through you.
have a wonderful Sunday everyone 🙏🏻namaste Trish
