Food for your Heart. Art for your Soul.

Strive for a happy heart this February!


February has us seeing hearts. 😍 I've decided to take it quite literally -- get my labs done, up my Omega 3's (https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/luminousandgrounded/store-start) , and treat myself to this tasty and super easy chia seed pudding (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pq9-pGnVzxao4QsnDQoP75ohm1y93QU0/view?usp=sharing) for breakfast every morning (hello, ALAs!). In case you've never made it, the hardest thing about chia pudding is remembering to shake the jar before it all clumps together! Otherwise it's as easy as mixing in a blender and then pouring it into a mason jar.

What is genuinely hard is getting enough EPA and DHA from diet alone. ALA is not the best converter. The Omega-3 metric would challenge even a fisherman. So if you do one thing to acknowledge this heart-focused month, can I suggest adding a nice Omega-3 blend (https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/luminousandgrounded) of EPA and DHA? If you're allergic to fish or have a histamine issue, you can do algae oil!

(If you need help, ask me for a personalized Fullscript (https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/luminousandgrounded) shopping cart link)

Heart-Healthy Quinoa Toss

Here's one more recipe (https://drive.google.com/file/d/10OSn8Z8lfaY1ET3_DXFp-7Y9W3Mv7lbU/view?usp=sharing) for good measure

*Legumes to improve ApoB + LDL

*Olive oil = Mediterranean diet magic
*High Potassium --> BP support
*Super satiating
Pair it with a wild-caught Alaskan salmon for wildly rebellious nourishment!

Now for the Heart Art Part!

Last time I checked we still had about 10 spots left for this Keep One 🩷 Gift One 🩷 pottery class. (https://book.stripe.com/00waEXclr86zaXPfLH0x30g)

If you're unable to attend then head over to my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/rachelabbett) and scroll for this photo. Leave a comment under the post and you'll be entered into my random drawing for the "Gift One 🩷" pottery dish.

Not quite seeing hearts?

If all this Valentine stuff has you nauseated and disconnected, it might me time to check your heart wall.

Time for a little mingling

Luminous & Grounded co-hosts a pottery class!

Roll up your sleeves, we're getting creative!

Not sure about you, but the last time I had the need for a kiln was in the early 90's. The opportunity to play with clay came along recently, coinciding with my immersion in the celebrated novel Good Dirt, which only further confirmed we were on the right path. Thank you, synchronicity!

It got me thinking: Adults need art classes, too! Somewhere between dishes and deadlines we forgot how to play, but artistic endeavors help us remember. I'm declaring 2026 the year to reclaim this version of playtime (Retreat 2026 plug: There will be art projects!). Let's not wait until September though, let's play now!

We're going to mix and mingle with the communities of Be Well - Wellness and Women of Wellness over at this charming facility called The Grounds of Livev (only natural The Grounds and Luminous and Grounded would eventually find each other). Keep scrolling for more details on our private event: Clay, Connection & a Little Heart.

Two hearts 🩷🩷 My favorite part

My favorite part about this workshop is that we're not just making one piece of pottery, we're making two. And if you've been following me for a while, you know I don't like to leave out my clients in other parts of the globe. As much as I'd love for you to be here, I know it's not practical. So all I can do is encourage you to find a class in your own area and join us in spirit, and --

If you're a client outside of the DMV (if you don't know what the DMV signifies, that's a good indicator that you're outside of the region!), I'd like to gift you my second piece of pottery! To be in the running, find the heart dish photo (as seen below) on my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/rachelabbett/) and comment on the post with your desire to be the recipient of the One to Keep 🩷 One to Gift 🩷 heart dish! I'll randomly choose one of you on February 20th!

The rest of you... time to play! Hope to see you there!

Click the button below to reserve your spot in the class. $62 gets you two pieces of pottery, instruction and refreshments. New friends are free. :)

Calgon, take me away!

Nothing like a week of "snowcrete" to make a person want to get away.

I'm ready for Retreat 2026! Are you ready for Retreat 2026?

Block your calendar for September 17-20th in Lake Anna, VA and then click here for all the details.

If you're ready to book, I'm ready to welcome you with open arms! Click the link below to pay your deposit and reserve your spot. Save $150 on your final payment (due by August 15th) when you pay your deposit by February 15th.

Choosing your room might just be the hardest part. Hit reply and send me your first and second choices (if you missed these in a previous newsletter click here (https://squaremktg.com/campaigns/bj7YdKBjqKfp/landing?source=facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawPs1lBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeSj8E2InSzDT1wtYoDPfqkykDNeU6RfRP3prbt4MHyjImP-XdsKbD1D74zi8_aem_AtMkhxzBdfQr9BTdeDiK1A) ). Once you arrive, you won't be asked to lift a finger! If 1993 was the last time you existed in a world where you didn't have to lift a finger (much like the last time I fired pottery in a kiln), it's time!

Stay safe and warm! Hope to see you soon, whether that's in-person or online.

P.S. The plunge pool is heated.

Permission to Exhale

Plans for Retreat 2026 are under way. Here's why you'll want to be there!

(Besides this sunny breakfast nook...)

Nervous system regulation isn't sexy, but full transparency: it's exactly what Retreat 2026: Permission to Exhale is all about. You haven't been to a retreat quite like this -- and honestly, that's what we were aiming for!

This Luminous & Grounded Retreat 2026 is the opportunity to try a variety of tools in the holistic toolbox that promote a calmer, more focused, more present you. Over four day's you'll move out of survival mode and into rest-and-receive.

Keeping scrolling to read just how we do that around here!

Your Chief Glow-up Officer Rachel Abbett traded electrical engineering for nutritional therapy and energy work -- a strategic shift from lighting external spaces to illuminating internal ones. At the retreat you'll experience a full buffet of Rachel's current offerings.

Energy Healing

One-on-One Emotion Code & Body Code Session
Unpack a legacy of emotional baggage with this systematic approach to releasing trapped emotions, negative mindset and physical imbalance from the body. Alleviate physical discomfort, break cycles of self-sabotage and restore love in relationships.

Muscle Testing & Bioresonance
Identification of underlying body stressors paired with oscillatory therapy designed to reharmonize and restore the proper flow of energy and electricity in the body.

IonCleanse Footbath
This patented device generates positive and negative ions from the electrolysis of water to create an ionic field that neutralizes positively and negatively charged toxins from the body, including heavy metals, glyphosate and common environmental toxins.

($400 value per person)

plus...

The Self-Serve Restoration Station
The game room gets a makeover and you get access to our favorite equipment to use at your convenience, including red light therapy, grounding, compression, infrared sauna, aromatherapy and more.

($200 value per person)

Movement Medicine

This isn't a yoga retreat, but that doesn't mean you aren't going to move! Our in-house Pilates instructor Mariah Sotelino will lead us through daily gentle movement classes and breath work to help you embody your body. Mariah has over 25 years of expertise and a keen eye for identifying your physical imbalances. Classes will be held on the gorgeous two-story private dock, weather permitting.

Movement Medicine: Hips
One-hour guided class designed to restore ease, strength, and mobility in the hips. Improve how you move through daily life.

Movement Medicine: Shoulders
One-hour Pilates-based class devoted to restoring freedom, strength, and coordination through the shoulders, neck, and upper back. A thoughtful balance of mobility and stability work that supports posture and reduces strain.

Movement Medicine: Spine
Over the course of the hour you'll create ease throughout the entire spine with breath-led movement to release habitual holding patterns, improve posture, and reconnect you to fluid, efficient movement.

($120 value per person)

Art Classes

Mariah is a woman of many talents. She's also a professional illustrator, educator and nature advocate. She will lead us in two different art projects (all materials provided) -- an individual project to keep and a group project to be displayed at the Luminous & Grounded office in Falls Church.

We believe creativity is a crucial part of whole-body wellness and a balanced lifestyle. We've chosen this gorgeous lake-side setting as a source of inspiration and reclamation for all.

($120 value per person)

Acupuncture

Meet Beth Burke Farrar! Beth is a licensed acupuncturist with over 20 years of experience in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and herbal therapy. With a perfect blend of compassion and humor, Beth is an invaluable part of our retreat experience, offering both immediate relief and long-term wellness.

One-on-One Acupuncture Session
Have you ever had acupuncture on a private boat dock? Neither have we! There's a first for everything. Maybe acupuncture needles are a first for you too. This time-tested practice harmonizes your body and mind, one tiny needle at a time.

Acupressure Ear Seeds
A little bling, a lot of calm. Acupressure ear seeds stay on your ears to nudge your body toward balance, stress relief, and natural healing. A gentle needle-free experience.

($150 value per person)

Phew... and we haven't even talked about the food yet!

If you're ready to begin your reset now, there are

two things you need to do:

1. Check out this pdf (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IXUasiEKY1HmPYoYO5CsbtyiQqMwEYKk/view?usp=drive_link) to see the bedroom options and reply with your first and second choices.

2. Click below to pay your depoist and secure your spot!

If you're still soaking up all the details, keep scrolling for more.

Suites are first come first serve and they are double occupancy (kings and queens to share) and quad occupancy (double bed to yourself + share the room with others). Please don't hesitate to ask for more details about the rooms! Bring your favorite person, or make new friends in the shared quad suite. Reservations vary from $1550-$2200 per person. Early bird ends February 15th. In case you missed it: click here for more information about the bedroom options.

10 Chef-Prepared, Allergy-Friendly, Nutrient-Dense Meals

+ coffee, tea, snacks and daily Mocktail Hour

($400 value per person)

Your Retreat Home

A picture is worth a thousand words. We fell in love with this home the moment we saw it. It perfectly expresses our desire to be squarely in the middle of summer camp and a 5-star luxury resort. We hope you agree!

Community is a huge part of why we do this. We want you to meet each other. We also want to know your favorite people! This home is an embodiment of that -- a healthy blend of cozy indoor spaces and sprawling outdoor space. Where you can eat communally, but also sneak away to enjoy quiet solitude. And who doesn't love a built-in fire pit and a screened-in porch?

The majority of the suites are double occupancy with either a king or queen bed, so you'll share that bed with your +1. There's also an option to claim a double bed that you'll get all to yourself, with a shared bedroom and en suite bath. If you're flying solo that's a great option.

Here's a handy pdf (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IXUasiEKY1HmPYoYO5CsbtyiQqMwEYKk/view?usp=drive_link) to help you choose your bedroom.

($100-275/night value per person)

✨Welcome bag
✨Heated plunge pool
✨Fire pit
✨Water access via pontoon, kayak & paddle-board

Everyone's Favorite Time of the Year

Or is it?

The reports I get vary.
Seems like everyone's working to adjust expectations.
The best of intentions are set.
When emotions run high, is it still your favorite season?
It can be!

I do know it's my favorite time of the year to be an Emotion Code and Body Code Practitioner. There's so much possibility and I love hearing the stories of disbelief when things actually go... well? The names and places change, but seems like you all want more of this:
joy, peace, compassion, bandwidth, hope
and less of that:
drama, judgement, arguing, stress, sadness

It's not a pumpkin pie in the sky idea!

Emotion Code and Body Code let us break down beliefs and unpack bad memories so we're not showing up in defense mode. If that sounds good to you, grab an appointment (https://square.site/book/LKWDF1CXDMT77/luminous-and-grounded-llc-falls-church-va) before another unfulfilling holiday passes you by.
More smiles, more laughter, less eye rolls and less tears.
It's all possible!

Unlock the magic of cacao!

Like a monthly ritual of its own, the algorithms keep serving up cacao ceremonies in my feed. They're not wrong to target me. Hardly a day goes by that I'm not "getting my magnesium" or "honoring my ancestors" who were chocolatiers.

Since I've yet to click the button and check out one of these cacao circles, lo and behold -- one came to me!

Cacao Circle with Jenny Dipasupil
Sunday, October 26th at 2pm
Luminous & Grounded
103 Rowell Ct, 3rd Floor
Falls Church, VA 22046

This one-hour experience is led by my colleague Jenny (https://www.jennydipasupil.com/) , a licensed massage therapist and energy healer with 18 years of experience. Jenny’s life has been transformed by cacao, and she can’t wait to share it with you.

Can you join us?

We've got four spots available - first come, first serve.
You can reserve your Cacao Circle ticket here. (https://square.link/u/EapxewuV)

Can’t make it or live too far?
You can still join in. Connect with Jenny virtually. (https://www.jennydipasupil.com/about-jenny) She even has discount codes so you can order ceremonial cacao straight to your door. She’ll guide you through the experience and share all the benefits, from wherever you are.

Rooted in Amazonian and Mesoamerican traditions as “the food of the gods,” cacao offers more than just flavor—it offers bliss, thanks to compounds like anandamide, the “bliss molecule.” That chocolate craving? It starts with cacao, the minimally processed seeds inside cacao pods. It’s a natural mood booster that lifts your spirits, sharpens focus, and creates a calm, open state. Jenny will guide us through all of this as we experience cacao through gratitude and connection.

Please note, ceremonial cacao contains natural stimulants like caffeine and theobromine, which may affect those sensitive to caffeine or with chocolate allergies. The ceremony may also bring up strong emotions—please honor your own comfort and wellbeing throughout.

Reserve your ticket for

Sunday, October 26th

Some additional housekeeping...

A quick housekeeping item: I was considering sending some snail mail, but I am missing a lot of addresses. Please take a minute and log into Square and/or Practice Better to update your physical mailing address (and anything else you'd like to provide or update).

Or really, you can also reply to this email and I'll manually update it for you. That works, too. 💌

4 spots left!

Have the best night of sleep with a sound healing this Tuesday! My new neighbor Lindsey, on the second floor of 103 Rowell Ct, owns Sound Family Health. We have a couple sound healings on the calendar and the first one is tomorrow night. We have four spots left, so grab a friend and join us!

103 Rowell Ct, Suite 200
Falls Church, VA 22046
Tuesday, September 16th from 7-8pm
Followed by refreshments

For Sunday's sound healing (https://square.link/u/Kurrom5X) we don't currently have anyone enrolled. If you've been considering it, now is the time to sign up!

Looking for that post-sound bath bliss, but can't make it?

By far one of the most popular intentions for Emotion Code and Body Code is better sleep. Whether you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or wake up feeling tired and wired, an exploration through the lens of Body Code can be a magical addition to all your best efforts. If you're struggling in the sleep department, give it a try!

Sublease Opportunity

I've always done my best to be transparent with you; I'm asking for a little help and here's why... Even before the Washington Post released a story on Friday, I was already hearing whisperings of soaring health insurance costs for 2026, so I wanted to get ahead of it and rent my office a couple days per week to offset the new premiums.

I'm certainly not ready to have a virtual-only practice, and I don't really want to raise my rates either, so please help by playing matchmaker for me and another practitioner. Here is a photo and a description you can share, along with my email.

Thanks, you're the best!

One More Thing...Serendipity

Serendipity. Such a fun word, and one of my favorite phenomenons. I love uncovering why the breadcrumbs have led me in a particular direction.

Equally fun, but obviously frustrating, is when themes present themselves and you're not really sure what they mean. Hmm...

Last weekend I had a theme nearly hit me in the head. Sharing here in case you're supposed to be involved, because frankly I'm still trying to figure it out!

Have you read this?

I haven't read this cover-to-cover, but I'm inclined to call it pioneering. Mainstream enough that I can reference it in a session, or like I did on Saturday, reference in an email.

What I did not expect after referencing it in an email (which I've literally never done), is that I would end up rearranging my home office, only to have it fall off the shelf over and over. Ultimately I decided to put this pestering book in my car and drive it to my office-office -- arguably a more suitable home for it.

Admittedly, never in the course of this endeavor did I think, Maybe I should finally read it cover-to-cover! Oh, but don't worry. The Universe had other plans for me. And maybe you, too!

The next day, on Sunday morning, I went to church and you won't believe what the lead pastor referenced in his sermon. Here is an actual photograph I took of the slide...

Here's your sign!

This quote will land differently for everyone. For me, I took the book back out of the car, brought it upstairs, and it's next in the queue.

Are we supposed to have a book club style discussion about it? Is this more about safety? Trauma? Breaking cycles? I don't know, but I can't wait to find out!

Please help me sew together the seeds of serendipity. Sometimes it takes a village!

Yours in Healing,

Rachel

Good Vibrations!

Did you hear? Our new neighbor Lindsey Kirkwood of Sound Family Health is open for business at 103 Rowell Ct on the Second Floor and putting out allllll the vibes!

Come experience her vibrational approach to healing at a special Sound Healing session, exclusive to Luminous & Grounded clients and their guests. Choose from:

Tuesday, September 16th at 7pm (https://square.link/u/rOmPdwpC)
Sunday, September 21st at 2pm (https://square.link/u/Kurrom5X)
—or come to both!

Space is limited to 10 people per session, so don’t delay!
Admission is $40 and includes light refreshments afterward.

Seeing you all connect and delight in each other's company is exactly why I host these events. True story: two husbands are now golfing together after their wives met at the March retreat. My heart is full!
Now… can we get these guys a foursome? I think so!

As tempting as it is to make more sound and frequency puns...

I want to make a brief plug for Emotion Code and then let you go. :)

I was at a concert Thursday and had a somewhat emotional moment...
“Have I just heard the Emotion Code theme song?!”
"DO WE HAVE OUR OWN THEME SONG??"
(Before you ask, no, it was not R.E.M or a cover of "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?") 🙄

I was at an Andy Grammer concert —my sixth one (I think?). People often tell me they’re not sure who he is, and then I suggest a song and they go, “Ohhh, I do know that one!" As much as I want Andy to be a megastar, I’m also totally fine with him staying the best-kept secret in music a little longer. :)

He's got great lyrics, he's not shy about addressing mental health, and he's a fantastic story teller. Before playing one of his newer songs called "Without You" he made a call to action. To let it ALL go! I admit I thought the song was about letting go of a toxic person, but he was clear about letting go of anything that doesn't serve you - the vices, all of it!

So what do you say? Let's get rid of some anger and anxiety, shall we?

Without You by Andy Grammer

Us against the world
Moving mountains together
That's what makes it hard
I didn't want this, but here we are

I didn't know my mouth could ever make this sound
So weird to say out loud, I think I'd be better without you
The walls are coming down, I'm reaching higher now
So weird to say out loud, I think I'd be better without you

That I could be happy, happier now
Finally figuring out that
I'd be better with, better without you
That I could be happy, happier now
Finally figuring out that
I'd be better with, better without you

I will brave the night
Take my chances, roll the dice
'Cause I can see some light
Coming through from the other side

The walls are coming down, I'm reaching higher now
So weird to say out loud, I think I'd be better without you
That I could be happy, happier now
Finally figuring out that
I'd be better with, better without you

That I could be happy, happier now
Finally figuring out that
I'd be better with, better without you

I didn't know my mouth could ever make this sound
So weird to say out loud, I think I'd be better without you

The walls are coming down, I'm reaching higher now
So weird to say out loud, I think I'd be better without you

That I could be happy, happier now
Finally figuring out that
I'd be better with, better without you
That I could be happy, happier now
Finally figuring out that
I'd be better with, better without you

Moving mountains with you,
