You’re not afraid of the dark anymore.

You’re not afraid to closely and examine the baggage that you’re carrying from your past. You’re not afraid to look backwards at the burdens you have absorbed from others or from your experiences. You’re not afraid to take a look at your current reality and examine what is here with you now.

And because you’re willing to take this action, a shift is going to occur.

Maybe something has been hidden in the dark. Maybe you couldn’t see clearly until now. Maybe it’s been hard to see. But the energy is shifting and something is coming out of the dark and into the light.

This is the energy of not being afraid to examine what is here. You are not afraid of the dark.

We have full moon lunar eclipse on September 7th. Notice what pops up in your life for you to examine over the next couple of weeks. Notice if heartache or trauma from the past shows up again. Notice any patterns or behaviors that you are still holding onto that might not be in alignment with who you truly are. notice any reoccurring dreams or ruminating.

This weekend in particular is a powerful time to see very clearly what you are doing, what others are doing, what is happening, and what might be lingering beneath the surface.

Journal. Go outside. Light a candle. Do some self brainspotting. Meditate. Be truthful with yourself and others. Say something that needs to be said. Change a habit. Dance. Talk about it. Drop all the emotional baggage that you’re carrying for other people. Decide to resolve your trauma. Notice what is still hiding in the darkness of your mind and in your body and bring it to the light.

Do you feel a shift? Are you noticing that something is slightly different? Do you feel it in your body or is it a deep knowing?

We shifted into eclipse season. Eclipses invite us to rediscover who we really are through the process of examining old patterns or revisiting trauma that might have a few sticky spots left or making important decisions that need to be made.

It doesn’t have to be dark or scary. Beautiful things can come from darkness.

When we shift from fear to curiosity, the changes that are occurring or the feelings that we’re having can become a doorway instead of a wall. We respond to shifts in our life or in our environment easily when we view these shifts as opportunities for growth instead of blocks or setbacks.

So as you’re navigating this interesting time, use gentle healing somatic practices.

Pause. Breathe. Listen to yourself… Not your mind, your deep, inner knowing. Release what no longer serves you. Stay open to possibility. Embrace curiosity and creative opportunities. Summon clarity, courage and curiosity.

💕✨🙏

Has this been a strange week for you? Are you feeling things you haven’t ever felt before? Or are you noticing things are a little more chaotic, surprising and urgent than usual? Have you received any new insights or sudden clarity? Or have you been more overwhelmed than usual?

It might be because we will have a new moon in Virgo in the early hours on Saturday. It’s the last new moon before eclipse season begins. Or it might be because the Schumann resonance was more intense than usual this week. Or maybe it was those meteor showers. Maybe it’s because we are shifting out of Leo season and into Virgo season.

Pay attention.

What’s going on in our personal lives can be a reflection of what’s going on outside of us. We are all affected by shifts of energy and movement in our environment. We can learn to support ourselves through nutrition, lifestyle, and energy practices to work with the changing energy and our resulting feelings.

Spend this weekend focusing on gratitude. Keep your thoughts, clean and realistic. Speak kindly to yourself. Set intentions to dedicate yourself to living your best, most authentic life. Pay attention to your shadows. Notice what is rising up to be healed.

When the sky is dark with a new moon, it’s like a blank canvas. It might feel dark, scary and empty. But remember that so much brilliance can be revealed in darkness. You decide what you want to create. Hold that vision as we enter eclipse season.

Be the change that you want to see. Be the light that you want to bring. Be the best version of yourself. Focus on joy and love….Even when things are hard.

Ask for help from a transpersonal therapist who can help you with every aspect of your life. Find your alignment.

Hi Sweetheart. How is your low back feeling? How are your hips? Is your neck hurting also? Seems to me that your body might need some special love, care and attention.

Our own personal stress, pressure, confusion, trauma, heartache, exhaustion, relationships, fear, and just our normal daily grind can really take a toll on our body. And if you’re paying attention, you know that there’s a great deal of change and confusion going on politically, with human rights and massive adjustments in our communities locally, statewide and nationally. These external events also create a reaction in our mind, body and spirit.

Give yourself a moment of stillness. Take a few deep breaths. Give yourself a body scan from head to toe. Gently move your body and notice where you’re holding tightness, tension, incorrect posture, and pain. Just notice. There’s no judgment, just notice.

Our body keeps score of everything. Pay attention to where your physical body needs some help and support. You can alleviate body aches with gentle, quiet, slow movements, and a change in the way that you talk to yourself and process your emotions.

Integrative techniques such as somatic movement, breath, work, yoga, creative practices, and trauma, healing assistance through brainspotting can not only help your mind to feel better, but your body also.

You are in charge of your healing. Honor your body, spirit and mind equally. Buy yourself some flowers. Move your body. Breathe deep. Focus on gratitude. Listen to healing music. Engage with nature. Know that there is an energetic connection in all things.

Let yourself be where you are and love who you are in every way.

The healing journey is a winding path. It requires a great deal of patience to sort through all the layers.

Sometimes it might feel like you walking in circles. It is true that ruminating and telling ourself the same stories over and over can keep us stuck without much insight or plans for solution. But even this maddening, circular thinking is part of the healing journey. Our mind and our ego partner together to try to understand what has happened.

Not much get solved this way though. Thinking and trying to find meaning and staying stuck in our narratives prevent real healing.

Using somatic practices and trauma healing techniques, such as brainspotting, can help us get to deeper layers of healing.

Feelings are often trapped in the body. The mind and ego don’t have access to this layer. As they say, the body keeps score. It remembers the shock, the anxiety, the heartbreak, the horror, the disappointment and the impact of the trauma.

We can access these feelings with somatic and energy practices. We will be able to see what we couldn’t previously see if we tap in on this level.

Stay curious about energy and frequency practices. Engage in somatic practices. Be willing to experience healing practices that don’t involve talking and thinking. You might be surprised by the deep insights, feelings, new awareness, and discovery of root causes.

Ask for help when needed. You deserve it.

Rishi and Mercury do not like our southwest Florida daily storms.

Actual storms can be scary sometimes and can just regulate the central nervous system. Emotional storms, physical storms, relationship, storms, and other kinds of storms that we encounter can also be regulating and scary.

But, as these two have figured out, getting comfortable being uncomfortable and asking for help when you need it with a trusted friend or advisor, can help you whether storms of all sorts.

Stay grounded. Get comfortable. Hunker down. Find some stillness. Notice what you notice with your senses. practice patience. Find a furry friend to snuggle. Know that you are truly safe inside. Trust that you can manage the triggers. Ask for help when you need it.

Just a reminder… Keep showing up.

Even when things are challenging or triggering. Even when life feels overwhelming. Even when you don’t feel good. Even when you think that there are other priorities that are more important. Even when the world around you seems chaotic and out of control.

Show up for yourself and for those you love. Just keep showing up, even when it’s hard.

With gentleness and self-care, keep showing up. When the path seems unclear, and the path seems uncertain, be still for a little while… and then move forward.

It might not be easy, but it is in these uncomfortable times that we can find our true strength.

Stay curious. Be delighted. Trust your intuition. Find the joy and gratitude in your journey. Believe that growth and transformation is possible, regardless of the circumstances.

ask for help if you need support, resolving trauma, recovering from grief, managing stress, change, and anxiety so that you can find confidence and peace.

Hey… Just checking in. How are you doing out there?

There sure is a lot happening in our external world if you’re paying attention.

It can all be a little overwhelming to contemplate. We’re all dealing with stuff in our personal life which is challenging enough. Celebrity deaths, human rights, violations, politics, disappointing trends, natural disasters and more can make it feel like everything is collapsing.

Take a nice big deep breath. Stretch your body. Feel your feelings. Go outside. Just stand with the trees for a little while. Look up. Engage in your spiritual beliefs and your energy practices to help you to remember that there’s a larger purpose.
Notice the cycles and patterns. Remember how powerful you really are.

Our job is to keep ourselves well and grounded so that we can feel our feelings, think clearly and make decisions. Try not to get overwhelmed and lost in all of the details and chaos.

Join me in maintaining love and compassion for ourselves and sending love and compassion outward. Take whatever steps you need to take to have your voice be heard and to secure your emotional safety.

Counseling can help.

No, you are not going crazy. You are having a normal reaction to a crazy situation.

Political events, war, human rights, violations, natural, disasters, personal trauma, relationship, break ups, or anything that is greatly disturbing or traumatic for you is going to result in a physiological response. Our bodies are tuned to external and internal happenings. When something feels threatening or maddening or upsetting, your body may go into fight, freeze or fall. This is central nervous system status in which your body is on, alert for its own protection, physiological, neurological and somatic changes occur.

So be gentle with yourself as you notice inflammation, tearfulness, sleeplessness, anger, despair, anxiety, or feeling a need to shut down or hibernate. These are just some of the normal responses to abnormal situations like the ones that we are all experiencing.

Focus on what you can control. Unplugged from the news and social media for a couple of days. Breathe. Stretch. Eat protein. Drink water. Get some sunshine. Walk barefoot on the ground. Pet an animal. Talk to people that you trust. Listen to soothing music. Engage in an enjoyable hobby. Creatively express yourself through painting or drawing or writing. Take an Epson salt bath. Do yoga. Light a candle. Be in nature. Move your eyes left and right very slowly across the horizon.

It is very challenging to regulate ourselves when our environment or circumstances are dysregulating. But it is possible.

We will make our best decisions, find our stability, help others and grow personally if we first take excellent care of ourselves. Integrative counseling and specialized treatment such as Brainspotting can help.

Settle your nervous system and then you will know more.

How do we stay grounded when the world around us seems so cruel and corrupt? This has been a very heavy week for human rights and more for those who are paying attention. This is a collective trauma that will affect generations to come.

give yourself time to process what has happened. Give yourself time to grieve.

Instead of collapsing, freezing, or turning away, just be present. Notice how you’re feeling. Notice your thoughts. What rises is an indication of your values. Notice your values and clarify what is important to you. Be gentle with yourself.

We breathe. We stay steady. Drink water. We stand. We find joy in the moment, and our small place in the world. We embrace the heaviness, but the heaviness does not break us.

We advocate in whatever way makes sense when we are able. Our voices need to be heard.

Speak your truth. Help others who are less fortunate. Embrace kindness.

We reclaim power by quieting the fear and awakening the truth.

You are not overreacting. Your central nervous system is asking for safety. Take care of yourself first, and then move forward.
