Mmmmm….it has felt so nourishing to not be “on” all the time. I love social media, but the energy has felt like “too much” right now.

I’ve been enjoying going inward, as this Season calls for, and deepening my own practices & studies. We have forgotten the wisdom of Mother Nature and how to follow her rhythms. It’s not our fault…it’s the nature of our society….our “push” culture.

What better way to dismantle a persons power than to push them into disconnecting with themselves? Because the only way that we can truly connect is by getting quiet and stepping away- shutting off instead of constantly taking in. And this is what social media does….it hooks you in & keeps you sucking in more & more. Phone addiction is a real thing. Scrolling addiction is a real thing.

I’m continuing my inward journey & my social media pause until Solstice. Already I’m feeling the stirrings of things in the cauldron that will be born in 2026 from this deepening. I’m remembering who I am beneath all the noise. And I look forward to the return. 🌞☀️

Love to you all!

Many people who think they’re Empaths are actually experiencing sympathy, not empathy.

Empathy is a sovereign state.
It allows you to witness someone’s emotional landscape without losing your center. It’s presence without merging… awareness without collapse. You feel with someone, but you remain rooted in your own body, your own breath, your own energy- your own emotional state.

Sympathy is different.
Sympathy blurs the boundary. It pulls you into the other person’s emotion so fully that you can’t distinguish what’s theirs and what’s yours. Your nervous system becomes the container for feelings that were never meant to be held inside you.

This is why so many “empaths” feel exhausted.
It’s not a spiritual gift—it’s an absence of boundaries.

Empathy is a skill.
Sympathy is a survival response.

And the transition from one to the other is the real initiation.

When you shift from sympathetic entanglement into true empathetic presence, you stop carrying emotions that don’t belong to you. You stop rescuing, fixing, absorbing. You stop confusing sensitivity with self-abandonment.

Instead, you become a grounded, compassionate witness—
one who can feel deeply without losing themselves.

That’s the medicine.

🌿Herbalism is one of the lost Priestess/Wise Woman arts. Every woman should have a foundational knowledge of basic herbs, their preparation and uses. It is part of our radical reclamation, the taking back of something that was forcefully torn from us.

Breast massage supports lymphatic flow, encourages detoxification, increases circulation, and nourishes overall vitality. It can help relieve tension, improve tissue health, and enhance awareness of changes in the breast, giving you a deeper understanding of your body’s physical signals.

Breast massage is more than self-care; it’s a ritual that cultivates intimate knowledge of your own body. It teaches you its rhythms and signals, awakens the heart energy, and softens you into connection—with yourself and the world around you.

Through this practice, we reclaim the sacred relationship with our bodies, honoring both their physical wisdom and their subtle, energetic intelligence.

Every woman deserves to feel empowered, to know her body deeply, and to awaken the heart’s intelligence. Herbalism and practices like breast massage are gateways into that sacred, embodied wisdom.

We live in a culture that glorifies “pushing through” — even when our bodies, minds, and hearts are whispering that it’s time to pause.

We try to force creation. We try to birth something before it’s ready. We act when the true wisdom is to do nothing.

But the feminine way is different.

The feminine knows there is a time for rest. A time to step back. A time to stop — to gain clarity, to let energy gather, to prepare for what wants to emerge.

Sometimes, you have to walk away to see clearly.
Sometimes, you have to pause to move forward.

This is the wisdom of the feminine: to honor timing, to honor energy, to honor the subtle rhythms of life. Not everything is meant to be forced. Some things are meant to be received in their own time.

✨ Slow down. Breathe. Trust the timing of your own unfolding. ✨

❤️

💫 It’s easy to be in a high vibe when things are going well. It’s easy to love and be grateful for people who love us back. But what about the ones who challenge us, the ones who trigger us, the ones who cause us pain?

How do we move from being victims to seeing these people as teachers and ourselves as students learning the curriculum of life?

How can we feel gratitude for the people and situations who helped us learn resilience?

We have to remember we are all souls experiencing our lessons, expressing our pains, moving through life from the lens of our individual perceptions in our own ways.

This is the topic I dive into in todays podcast episode on Mystic Musings: Loving the Unlikeable.

🌿 Want to shift your mindset, elevate your mood, have more energy, open for more spiritual awakening? Start with your food.

The quality of the food we eat affects our daily health far beyond the physical.

In Ayurveda, it is understood that food carries Gunas — subtle qualities that influence the mind, body, and consciousness.

🌿Sattvic foods bring clarity, calm, and lightness. Fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds nurture your body and elevate your mind.

🌿Rajasic foods stimulate energy and action, but can also increase restlessness or agitation if consumed in excess — think spicy, fried, or highly processed foods.

🌿Tamasic foods create heaviness, dullness, and inertia — like overly processed, stale, or leftover foods.

When we consciously choose mostly Sattvic foods, we create a fertile ground for gratitude, focus, and spiritual growth. Our bodies become lighter, our energy higher, and our minds more receptive to subtle guidance.

Buckwheat hot cereal is a warming, nourishing breakfast that supports digestion, balances blood sugar, and provides long-lasting energy.

It’s rich in fiber, protein, and minerals like magnesium and iron therefore it strengthens the body while calming the mind. In Ayurveda, it’s grounding and soothing, making it perfect for starting your day with warmth, clarity, and sustained vitality.

Recipe:
1/4 c. Buckwheat hot cereal (I use Bobs Red Mill)
3/4 c filtered water
1 tsp. Flax
1 tsp. Chia seeds
Pure maple syrup or raw, honey
Milk of choice
Healthy extras: Ashwaghanda, Maca, Cacao, Shatavari, Bee Pollen, Nuts, Seeds, Goji Berries.

Combine the cereal, the flaxseeds, the Chia seeds and water in a sauce pan. Cook on low heat until nice and creamy.

Add in healthy extras and sweeteners or milk if using. Enjoy.
