📰 Science strikes again! Proving what humans have known for millennia. 🧠📜⚕️💆🏾‍♀️

🧠 Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to double the brain’s waste clearance system—not with drugs or surgery, but simply by massaging the skin.

A team from the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has shown in mice that gently stimulating the lymphatic vessels under the skin of the face and neck can dramatically boost cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow. This process helps flush out toxins and waste products from the brain, including harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Using a specially designed mechanical stimulator, researchers restored CSF drainage to youthful levels in aged mice, suggesting a safe, non-invasive strategy to improve brain health.

Even more exciting, the study mapped previously unknown drainage routes from the brain to superficial lymph nodes through facial lymphatics—pathways that remain active even in older animals. This discovery completes the anatomical picture of CSF outflow and hints at future wearable or clinical devices designed to enhance brain cleansing.

While more research is needed before human applications, this gentle mechanical approach may open the door to new therapies aimed at preventing or slowing neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

💎 You Are a Living Crystal
Here’s Why That Matters ✨

Most people think of the body as skin, bones, and organs. But you’re also a finely tuned energy instrument AND you are literally piezoelectric.

Piezoelectricity means certain materials create an electric charge when compressed, moved, or stretched. Quartz crystals are famous for this… but so are your bones, fascia, and collagen fibers. Every step you take, every deep breath, every heartbeat creates tiny electrical impulses that ripple through your body. You are generating energy just by being alive.

Here’s where it gets fascinating: modern science confirms we are not only electrical, we are luminous.

The human body emits biophotons, ultra faint pulses of light, from our cells.

This light is produced by cellular processes and can be detected by specialized equipment. (The heart’s electromagnetic field can be measured several feet away from the body and changes based on our emotional state. This field is a looped system within our own energy circuit while communicating with the world around us including the fields of other animals and humans.)(and plants too, though that's bioelectric and a story for another day)

Fascia, Bone and Collagen are all part of your bioelectric communication network. They are piezoelectric, acting as conductors for light and electricity; a biological fiber optic system.

In spiritual terms, this is your light body, the subtle energetic field that interweaves with your physical form. Ancient wisdom traditions have been describing it for millennia: the aura, the merkaba, the rainbow body. Science is now catching up, showing that your body is both an emitter and a receiver of light and information.

Why this matters:

Spiritually → When you understand you’re a light-being, you stop identifying with limitation. You can tune your “signal” through intention, meditation, movement, breathwork, and gratitude.

Metaphysically → Energy follows thought. Your piezoelectric body translates intention and emotion into energetic broadcasts that influence the quantum field — your reality responds.

Physically → Movement, sound, and touch literally charge your system, increasing circulation, improving mood, and activating healing processes.

You can use this to:

1. Be the best version of yourself → Align your body and mind to radiate coherence. Think of it as tuning your instrument so the music you play is beautiful and uplifting.

2. Create your dream life → When your body’s electricity and light are in harmony with your mind’s vision, you become magnetic to opportunities.

3. Uplift humanity → A coherent, high-vibration field is contagious. Your light strengthens the light in others, creating ripple effects far beyond what you can see.

When enough people intentionally raise their frequency, it alters humanity itself.

You are not just a physical body. You are a living, breathing, glowing crystalline light-being.
Every choice, breath, moment is a chance to shine brighter.

Happy Lion's Gate Portal! 🦁♌️

Each year from July 28th to August 12th, with a peak on ♾️August 8 (8/8)♾️, many cultures—both ancient and modern—observe a time known as the 🦁Lion’s Gate Portal🚪. While the phrase may sound poetic or mystical, it’s rooted in a real astronomical alignment: the 🌅rising of the star Sirius in conjunction with the 🌞 Sun in the zodiac sign of Leo. ♌️

💫 A Crossroads of Astronomy and Meaning

The Lion’s Gate Portal centers around the ☀️heliacal rising of Sirius ⭐️, when it becomes visible on the eastern horizon just before sunrise. Ancient civilizations—particularly in 🇪🇬Egypt—considered this event a powerful time of rebirth, as it coincided with the annual flooding of the Nile, which brought new life to the land. For the Egyptians, Sirius represented the goddess ✨️Isis✨️ and was associated with resurrection, abundance, and the spiritual soul.

🔆In Mayan and Incan cultures, solar and stellar alignments marked important ceremonial times linked to agricultural cycles and human transformation. The period surrounding early August has also been noted across the world as a time of 🍃seasonal transition🍂, where the bright summer sun begins to wane and hints of harvest preparation begin.

🤔 Why “Lion’s Gate”?

The term “Lion’s Gate” refers to the 🌞 Sun’s placement in Leo ♌️, a sign symbolically associated with the heart, courage, leadership, and personal power. Combine that with the brilliance of Sirius—a star twice as massive and 25 times more luminous than the Sun—and we’re looking at a potent symbolic gateway: a time to reflect, re-align, and re-engage with what gives our lives meaning.

💎 How to Work With This Energy (No Crystals Required 😉)

Even if you’re not into astrology or energy work, you can still 💫use this season intentionally💫. Think of it as a cosmic reset button—an invitation to:

🌠Reflect on what’s in your heart: What truly matters to you right now?

🌠Reclaim your voice: Where have you been quiet about something that matters to you?

🌠Clarify your direction: What are you ready to let go of, and what’s calling you forward?

🪞Reflection prompts-

🌠 What part of me is ready to be seen more fully?
🌠 What does courage look like in my life right now?
🌠 Spend time outside at sunrise or sunset** – connect with the rhythms of nature.
🌠 Create a quiet space** for inner listening: meditation, deep breathing, or simply sitting in silence.
🌠 Set an intention on 8/8 ⭐️Write down one powerful word or sentence that defines the energy you want to embody moving forward.

Whether you view it through the lens of astronomy, ancient wisdom, or personal growth, the 💫Lion’s Gate Portal💫 is a powerful metaphor and moment to pause, reset, and step forward with more intention. You don’t have to believe in energy shifts to believe in your own capacity for change.

Yesterday was a glimpse into the new paradigm.

We gathered with enthusiasm —for what this space is becoming—and with trust that our efforts, our message, and our hearts would be met by those who were meant to receive them.

And they were.

From the early morning hours, volunteers arrived with open hearts and willing hands-building the space, setting the vibe, and anchoring the energy. Every detail was infused with intention.
And when the people came… magic happened.

We connected deeply—with each other, with the land, and with something ancient that lives in all of us.
We listened, laughed, shared, and oh… did we dance.
What unfolded was more than just an event—it was a ceremony of reconnection. A celebration of what’s possible when we come together in authenticity, play, and purpose.
My heart could burst from the love I felt witnessing it all.

Overwhelmed with love, I thank each person who came out, participated, volunteered and worked the event.
For your effort. For your enthusiasm. For your trust in this uncharted territory.
We are co creating our reality, together.
The future is blindingly bright because of you.

Until we gather again-
With the highest L.O.V.E,
Leah

You Are Part of Something Ancient and New.

We are not just gathering to shop, to eat, to learn.
We are participating in a sacred return.

Our world is in the midst of a great transition. Old systems are breaking down—systems that were built on separation, scarcity, and survival. And while that collapse can feel chaotic, it is also an invitation. An invitation to remember. An invitation to rebuild—together.

At MVMNT, and in the heart of every experience we create, we are reawakening the memory of the village.
The soul knows this rhythm: to heal in community, to grow in shared purpose, to hold space for one another’s becoming.

This is not just wellness.
It is remembrance.
It is reclamation.
It is revolution through love.

Every time we show up, we are practicing a new world.
One that honors the wisdom of the body.
One that values wholeness over productivity.
One that recognizes each person as a vital thread in the fabric of community.

We are not here to escape the world.
We are here to become the world that’s coming.

This is how we evolve—together, in rhythm with ancient truths and future possibilities.

Your presence is not just welcome.
It is essential.

See you THIS Saturday, April 12th in celebration of what's possible when we choose community, wholeness, and co-creation of a more conscious world. ✌🏼🤍🌈

To My Beloved Clients,

You are my greatest teachers.

Every session, every conversation, every moment of vulnerability and courage—you remind me why I do this work. Your willingness to show up, to trust the process, to lean into your own healing and self-discovery is nothing short of inspiring.

I am deeply grateful—not just for your loyalty to my practice, but for your loyalty to yourselves. Your commitment to growth, your trust in your own unfolding, and your dedication to this journey we share have shaped me in ways I could never have imagined.

This path is not one I walk alone. With every breathwork session, every touch in bodywork, every exchange of wisdom, you invite me deeper into my own evolution. You mirror back lessons of patience, resilience, surrender, and joy. You teach me the art of presence. You remind me, again and again, that healing is a dance we engage in together.

Your presence in my life is a gift. Your trust is an honor. Your growth is a beacon.
From the depths of my heart, thank you. For choosing this path. For choosing yourself. And for allowing me to walk beside you.

With endless gratitude and love,
Leah
