It's estimated that between 45%-55% of people put their Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving.

Are you one of them? Do you have any traditions that make this event special for you and your family?

Why do energy practitioners smudge their space before and after healing treatments?

Smudging is an energetic form of cleansing. The goal is to clear residual or stagnant energy from the healing space, the client, and the practitioner.

Other forms of energetic cleansing include:
Salt lamps or placing bowls of sea salt in the corners of a room to absorb negative energy.
Using crystals to clear energy or for protection
Essential oil diffusion or burning incense
Herbs and essential oil spray also known as Florida Water (I call mine Willow Water)
Using singing bowls or bells to clear energy through vibrations

Which technique resonates with you?

November 23, 2025: Today’s card further extends November’s theme of growth. Gratitude plays an integral part in our ability to process our thoughts and emotions. When we express gratitude and open ourselves up to what may be instead of hanging on to what was, the Universe rewards us with alignment. 💛 JoAnne

"Jingle Bells" written in 1857 was originally a Thanksgiving song and was titled "One Horse Open Sleigh".

Is there a difference between Ancient Black Pearl Technique and Reiki?

✨ Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing technique that channels universal life force energy to support emotional, physical, and spiritual balance.

🖤 The Ancient Black Pearl Technique is a hands-on body modality that goes deeper into the nervous system—specifically targeting the amygdala and Triple Warmer meridian to release trauma stored in the body.

Think of Reiki as a beautiful wave of calm, while Black Pearl is a deep ocean dive into your healing potential.

Together these modalities are a powerhouse of healing!

I still have openings for my seasonal special of energy healing and aromatherapy. One of my recent clients said, "Now I understand why people fall asleep during this." Comment below if you have any questions or want more information. I am happy to chat.

November 16, 2025 - Acceptance: Today’s card suggests a theme is still unfolding this month. We are wise to review the last two weeks as we implement today’s card. This is how intuitive readings work to serve us. As we move forward in our lives, we must embrace varying levels of acceptance. Some things we can change and some things we cannot. Focus on what you can and not what you can’t. You are being led to see the bigger picture. Acceptance is a piece of the puzzle you are trying to solve. 💛 JoAnne

Pumpkin spice blend doesn't contain any pumpkin; it's a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. I like to add cloves to mine!

The combination of these spices has been linked with pumpkins and fall baking for centuries. Early settlers in America made "pumpkin pie" by baking milk, honey, and spices in hot ashes with pumpkin.

McCormick introduced a pre-made pumpkin pie spice blend in 1934, to simplify the process for bakers.

It's estimated that 50 million pumpkin pies will be consumed in the United States during the month of November, with a majority of them on Thanksgiving.

Why do practitioners suggest drinking lemon water after a Reiki healing session?

It is believed to help the body integrate the energetic shifts from the session and assist the body's natural detoxification process.

Both Reiki and the Ancient Black Pearl Technique work energetically on the body to remove stagnation and blockages to help restore homeostasis.

The combination of energy healing and drinking lemon water represents a holistic approach to wellness. Reiki and Ancient Black Pearl healing is used to cleanse the body on an energetic level, while the lemon water supports the body on a physical level, allowing for a smoother, more effective, and more grounded healing process.

November 9, 2025 - Volcano/Volatility: Today’s card appears on the heels of last week’s card. A message is emerging. Be very mindful of your inner and outer world right now. You may find yourself in an unforeseen shake up that rocks you to your core. Faith may be tested and challenges may arise. What feels like destruction or demise is actually a transformation for your greater good. Allow the Universe to keep propelling you into the right direction. What was may no longer serve you, so leave it behind, learn from it, and move forward. 💛 JoAnne.

Did you know that the bitter orange tree produces three different essential oils?

Neroli comes from the flowers, petitgrain comes from the leaves, and bitter orange comes from the fruit rind. (Citrus aurantium var. amara)

Sweet Orange oil or sometimes called Wild Orange comes from a completely different plant. (Citrus sinensis)
