Message from the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers
http://www.grandmotherscouncil.org/

“As you move through these changing times... be easy on yourself & be easy on one another. You are at the beginning of something new. You are learning a new way of being. You will find that you are working less in the yang modes that you are used to.

You will stop working so hard at getting from point A to point B the way you have in the past, but instead, will spend more time experiencing yourself in the whole, & your place in it.

Instead of traveling to a goal out there, you will voyage deeper into yourself. Your mother’s grandmother knew how to do this. Your ancestors from long ago knew how to do this. They knew the power of the feminine principle... & because you carry their DNA in your body, this wisdom & this way of being is within you.

Call on it. Call it up. Invite your ancestors in. As the yang based habits & the decaying institutions on our planet begin to crumble, look up. A breeze is stirring. Feel the sun on your wings.”

As the seasons begin to change, my internal compass begins to attune to the deeper more potent seeds that yearn to be tended + nurtured.

The warmer weather of early Spring hints of road trips, and high desert adventures. It’s that time of year where my soul recognizes the inner calling for a solo quest. A time to release + recharge + renew my vessel.

I welcome these opportunities as a time to escape from daily routines, responsibilities + old worn out patterning.

Like a mini retreat, with permission to unplug, and check out so to speak, yet with an intentional choice to turn my attention + energy towards the deeper realms of Self, an inner journey if you wish, through the Koshas.

There’s a quiet fatigue moving through people right now…
Not just tiredness of the body, but a deeper soul-weariness.

A sense of being hurried, pulled, stretched thin; yet unsure what we’re even rushing toward.

As time seems to be speeding up. Busy has become a way of coping.
Filling space so we don’t have to feel the weight of the world, the questions, the unknown.

Beneath the constant doing, many are craving something else entirely…

Slowness.
Breath.
Meaning.
Connection.

If you’ve been feeling more exhausted than usual, more scattered, more overwhelmed by the pace of it all—you’re not alone.

This may be an invitation…
to pause instead of push,
to listen instead of fill,
to soften instead of strive.

Allow yourself a moment…just a moment to pause what you’re doing and breathe.

•What if your fatigue isn’t something to fix,
but something to honor?

•Where in your life are you being asked to slow down?

•What excuse do you keep telling yourself that keeps you in the negative cycle?

Chemistry, compatibility, and communication are all vital elements in a successful and fulfilling relationships.

Chemistry : Is that spark, or natural and invisible connection between two individuals. A combination of physical attraction, emotional resonance, and shared interests. Chemistry deepens emotional intimacy and strengthens the bond between partners.

Compatibility : Alignment of fundamental beliefs, priorities and life trajectories. Similar values, goals, lifestyles, and interests. Compatibility creates a level of harmony, shared purpose, and long term stability in relationship. Couple’s have a higher level of understanding and cooperation.

Communication : Both verbal and non-verbal. Healthy communication involves active listening, vulnerability, expressing honestly, openly, and respectfully. Communication is at the foundation of a healthy relationship. Good communication allows partners to resolve conflict, make decisions together, and maintain emotional intimacy. Lack of communication leads to misunderstandings, resentment and disconnection.

When chemistry, compatibility, and communication are present in a relationship, they reinforce and strengthen each other. Effective communication enables partners to express their desires, needs, and concerns, fostering understanding and resolving conflicts. Chemistry provides the initial attraction and connection that fuels the desire to communicate and spend time together. Compatibility ensures that partners share common ground, reducing friction and enhancing mutual support.

Relationships require effort, understanding, and ongoing communication to maintain and nurture them. It’s crucial for couples to continually work on their communication skills, nurture the chemistry through shared experiences, and periodically reassess their compatibility to ensure the relationship remains healthy and fulfilling.

This affirms that making space for what brings you joy is not indulgent, it’s soul stewardship. In the shamanic tradition, tending your happiness is a sacred act that nourishes your vitality and strengthens your ability to serve others. Its significance lies in reclaiming joy as a rightful flame on your altar, reminding you that honoring what you love is part of your spiritual path.

“Life deepens when you make space for what lights your spirit. Tending your joy is not selfish, it’s ceremonial. Your happiness feeds the fire that warms the world.”

May the monks walking for peace be held in prayer, surrounded by protection, vitality, and grace on every step of their journey.

May their inner stillness and quiet courage ripple outward into the world, reminding us all of what truly matters.

May their presence soften what has hardened, ease burdens long carried, and
gently renew the human heart in love.

With humility and gratitude, I offer thanks to these beautiful souls 🤍

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace.
