Love & Miracles Monday 🌕 A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love and from the ego mind to the heart…

Within the heart lies the true self and its pure nature of love, joy and abundance.

While the ego has a valid purpose to protect us, it can keep us stuck in unhelpful patterns of somatic bracing, fear and scarcity mindset blocking the flow of miracles through the heart.

This full moon in Aries helps us burn through the illusion of the ego to tune into the true self, illuminated by the light of the super new moon. What awareness can the ego bring to to the surface to be transmuted by the heart? Only love is real.

Taking time to connect to the true self and disconnect from the noise of the ego creates space for miracles to come through.

Miracles are always around us waiting to be received. Can you soften and allow them to flow through you?

Today I used an A # major chord, activating 3rd eye intuition and the brain’s homing beacon receiving and sending frequency.

Bowls used:

A # in Azeztulite and Pink Aura Gold (Love and Light)
A # in Green Heart Ocean Gold (Loving Kindness)
F- Imperial Topaz (Golden Ray of Manifestation)
F- St. Germain/Violet Flame (transmutation)
D- Aqua Aura Gold and Tesseract Salt (clearing illusion and negativity, balancing the analytical and masculine qualities)

Take a breath and tune in…

“The bowls will teach you.”

Last December I was incredibly honored to lead a sound bath celebrating the 80th birthday of a pioneer and legend in sound healing, Beverly Wilson Hoffman. The founder of The Crystal Room in magical Mt Shasta, Bev’s unique expertise in the energetics of crystals helped create Crystal Tones alchemy bowls. As one of the first guardians of the bowls, she personally activated so many sound healers who experienced the healing magic of the alchemy bowls for the first time.

Bev’s celebration stood out as a highlight for me in many ways, especially the advice the steward of her legacy at The Crystal Room, Wendy, shared. Reflecting on her own initial fear of stepping into such a big, new role, Bev advised, “Don’t worry. The bowls will teach you.”

Those words resonated so deeply as truth in my heart. The bowls offer us keys to unlock our highest potential. They help us remember who we truly are. They serve as quantum bridges between realms, between our human and divine selves.

Yesterday when my practitioner bowl broke, instead of crying I celebrated another milestone in my spiritual journey.

I use this bowl primarily in Reiki sessions— it helps anchor higher consciousness and divine communication through the crown. Its alchemy of Palladium also helps foster child like joy, curiosity and wonder (reminiscent of Kutuhala if you have been following along!).

It can likely be repaired and will take on a new life as a Transcendent bowl, mirroring my own spiritual rebirth during a powerful portal of transformation. It will come back singing a new note and frequency with the same heart as before.

Transcendent bowls represent the healing journey from brokenness to wholeness and the potential for beauty and power to emerge from difficult experiences. They teach us resilience and that it’s our scars and imperfections that make us beautiful. 💗

This summer I gave myself full permission to follow my joy and here’s what I discovered…

✨Joy is more than just a passing feeling…it’s a compass guiding you into alignment with your highest path and most authentic self.

✨Emotions are messengers and joy is one of the most important ones to listen to.

✨Joy is whispering in your ear— “this is meant for you.” The louder the whisper the bigger the clue into who you truly are.

✨Happiness is your natural state— joy is the proof.

✨Experiencing joy and pleasure is a birthright of the human experience. We are not here to suffer but to experience it all, to learn from it all.

✨We can hold both joy and grief simultaneously— they are not mutually exclusive.

✨We often discount and shy away from what brings us joy out of societal conditioning, expectations, or fear of shining too brightly as our unique, magical selves.

✨But the truth is the world needs you lit up with joy. When you follow your joy, you give others the permission to do the same. One by one we ignite the world with joy.

What brings you joy? I would love to hear!

How do you coax your nervous system into action when fear has it stuck in place?

Somatic practices and specifically somatic coaching has been transformative for me personally and for my clients.

Your body is running on a loop of your conscious and subconscious thoughts, providing sensory feedback that reinforces this cycle. This loop forms a pattern that keeps you feeling stuck and small.

But this also means you can break this pattern and install a new program— shifting your external reality through your internal embodiment. Somatics is biohacking for your life.

In my somatic coaching sessions, we teach your body and nervous system that it’s safe to expand, to take up space, and to feel what needs to heal.

We help release the protective bracing patterns that cause you to shrink and freeze.

We address the root cause of these protective patterns, breaking through energy that has been holding you back for far too long.

After a powerful somatic coaching session, I asked a client what she wanted to be acknowledged for afterwards. My heart melted when she replied, “how beautiful my movement was.” 🥹 She went on to meet not only the goals she came into our coaching sessions with, but truly blossomed before my eyes.

The power of being witnessed, being heard and being seen in a safe space is powerful.

You become empowered to act from this new program which is reinforced over time eventually becoming your new default.

✨You start embodying confidence.

✨You show up with courage.

✨Creativity flourishes.

✨Small inspired actions grow into bold moves forward.

✨Your body becomes your greatest ally instead of an enemy to overcome.

✨You let your light shine—revealing your most authentic, brightest self.

A few insights post–new moon as we head into Virgo and eclipse season...✨💫♍️

The Virgo New Moon and upcoming eclipses ignite the Virgo-Pisces axis—the zodiac’s bridge between heaven and earth. This polarity dances between Virgo’s grounded service, purity and discernment and Pisces’ intuitive wisdom, spiritual surrender and sensitivity.

For insights on how and where this energy might impact you, check to see where Virgo and Pisces live in your chart.

Personally, these land directly on my Lunar Nodes (which are already activated by eclipses): North Node in Virgo (8th house), South Node in Pisces (2nd).

The North Node represents our soul’s evolutionary path, while the South Node holds gifts mastered from past lifetimes.

Understanding this connection was a full-body confirmation of my mission to weave heaven into earth, helping others while mastering myself how to embody the divine while navigating the intricacies of the human experience.

Throughout this weekend full of new moon events and collaborations blending sound and energy healing with somatics, breath and movement, I felt this energy expanding me in every way. Embodied service through practical action.

But growth isn’t comfortable and this energy also intensifies the shadow archetypes of each sign, bringing raw awareness for deeper healing:

Virgo: the inner critic, perfectionist and over-thinker
Pisces: the dreamer lost in the clouds, the escapist, and martyr

We just entered the fast lane on a cosmic superhighway of transformation along this axis. It will be so important to lean into self-care, establish supportive daily routines, and bring grace, compassion and trust to whatever arises.

Sending you so much love. 🤍🙏✨

There’s an intensity to this new moon— do you feel it? It’s bringing a purification that feels almost like a full moon...

This isn’t a typical new moon—some astrologers call it a “Black Moon” (a rare 3rd of 4 new moons this summer) and it’s also the 2nd of 3 Virgo new moons this year, so its transformative power is amplified.

Arriving just as the Sun moves into Virgo, it’s a cosmic reset button that launches us into a new chapter and prepares us for eclipse season beginning in September.

While it holds pure potential for new beginnings, it also brings a sense of urgency toward necessary change—like cleaning the house before company comes.

This Virgo New Moon pierces through illusions and haze with surgical precision, offering reality checks and clarity where needed. With Uranus in Gemini forming a square aspect to the new moon, you might feel a pressure to break free from what’s been draining your energy lately—daily compromises and self-sabotaging thoughts or patterns that are keeping you stuck or small. It’s uncomfortable energy but can also be liberating as you surrender to your highest timeline and trust what arises.

This new moon builds on the work that began with the March Virgo New Moon Eclipse—and it will be bookended and amplified by the powerful solar eclipse and 3rd New Moon in Virgo on September 21.

Think of what you were experiencing back in March and what might be coming back up for you now. This new moon is giving you a push to act on your March intentions and brings awareness to where you may have fallen out of alignment. September’s eclipse will accelerate transformation— any day-to-day shifts you make now will prepare you for what’s to come.

The theme now is aligned action over dreaming—tending the sacred details rather than getting lost in big-picture visioning.

Step into your power by showing up for yourself in small, consistent ways. As the gateway to eclipse season, the actions you take now will help you build a strong foundation for what lies ahead.

How are you experiencing this moon energy? Share below—I’d love to hear. 🤍
